14. The thorough enforcement of educational results, by means of systematic REVIEW QUESTIONS and EXERCISES, (pp. 32, 54, 58, 122, 186, etc.)

TIME SAVING AND LABOR SAVING.

It will be noted that this work with GREENLEAF'S NEW PRIMARY, and NEW ELEMENTARY, or New Intellectual ARITHMETICS, forms a clear, practical, comprehensive system,

COMPLETE IN ONLY THREE BOOKS,

and is believed to be, the cheapest, most convenient and productive, that has ever appeared.

By its use, in comparison with certain crude, overloaded, and long spun out courses, of five or more books, with such catch penny accompaniments, as Table Books, Dictation Cards, Books of Principles, Keys of Answers, Grammar School Editions, etc... it is safe to say that the learner may not only make better progress, but, at least,

SAVE TWO YEARS OF VALUABLE TIME.
